Disclosed is an electronic component that can suppress the incidence of irregularities at an external electrode. Further disclosed is a method for producing same. The external electrode (14a) is provided to the bottom surface (S2) of a laminate (12). A through-conductor (V1) extends in the direction of the z-axis by means of penetrating insulator layers (16b-16l), and in a plan view from the direction of the z-axis, overlaps the external electrode (14a). The through-conductor (V1) contains via-hole conductors (v1-v6) and connection conductors (20a-20e). The via-hole conductors (v1-v6) are formed to the insulator layers (16b, 16d, 16f, 16h, 16j, 16l). The connection conductors (20a-20e) are provided on the insulator layers (16d, 16f, 16h, 16j, 16l), and in a plan view from the direction of the z-axis, have a greater area than the via-hole conductors (v1-v6) and overlap the via-hole conductors (v1-v6).
